Abstract: Mites caused of mange in mammals and humans and of scabies in humans have a very host range. The question as to whether these mites might be divided into different species or whether they are monospecific, has been the subject of an ongoing debate. A generally accepted answer has not yet been gound. DNA molecular markers were generally used to clarify the taxonomic status. 

Key words: DNA molecular markers; mites
